FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Friday! The Opening Shot of the weekend: Glorious Friday!

Elder Daughter arrives this afternoon, in town to deliver a talk at the Southern Center for International Studies. And sometime this evening, the Mistress of Sarcasm should show up. It will be a Full House.

Tonight, we’ll catch Lily Tomlin at the Ferst Center for the Arts over at Georgia Tech. Maybe I will get a chance to ask her if she regrets nailing John Travolta back when he was a snivelly kid.

Enough of that. It’s time to check out the randomly-selected musical offerings of the Little White Choon-Box. What’s playing today?

It’s Ice - Phish

Champagne Supernova - Ben Folds Five

She Lives (In A Time Of Her Own) - The Judybats

Alice Childress - Ben Folds

Some summers in the eveningAfter six or soI walk on down the hillAnd maybe buy a beerI think about my friendsSometimes I wishThey lived out hereBut they wouldn’tDig this townNo they wouldn’tDig this town

[Chorus]Try not to think about itAlice ChildressTry not to think about it any moreTry not to think about itAlice ChildressAny moreNo not any moreNo

Alice the worldIs full of ugly thingsThat you can’t changePretend it’s not that wayThat’s my idea of faithYou can blow it offAnd say there’s goodIn nearly everyoneJust give them all a chanceGive them all a chance

Chorus

No it didn’t work outNo it didn’t work outThe way we thought it wouldNo it didn’t work outAn arranged marriageIs not so good

Thank God it’s youYou know your timing isImpeccableI’m not fooling youI don’t know what to doSome dude just knocked me coldAnd left me on the sidewalkTook everything I hadEverything I had

Try not to think about itAlice ChildressTry not to think about it any moreIt’s getting light where you areAlice ChildressAny more, no not any moreAny more, no not any more
